That Is the Way

(Do this, do that, do this, do that)

Go and speak

(Do this)

To your niece

(Do that)

Kiss your aunt

(Do this)

On the cheek

(Do that)

Don't talk back

(Do this)

Now run along

(Do that)

It's gone eight

(Do this)

Say goodnight

(Do that)

That is the way that it's done

That is the way that it's done

That is the way that it's done

Boy and girl, girl and boy

This is how you do it

And who am I to reason why?

(Do this, do that, do this, do that)

Wear a shirt

(Do this)

Wear a tie

(Do that)

You look smart

(Do this)

In a suit

(Do that)

Use your fork

(Do this)

On the left

(Do that)

Straighten up

(Do this)

Shoulders back

(Do that)

That is the way that it's done

That is the way that it's done

That is the way that it's done

Boy and girl, girl and boy

This is how you do it

And who am I to reason why?
